Okay, here's a new versin of the patch. Changes: * throttel on number of inflight command blocks * rename scsi_cmnd->new_queue_depth to scsi_cmnd->queue_depth * remove scsi_do_cmd * serialize pool handling

now that scsi_add_host accepts a NMULL dev argument we don't need it anymore.

One of the goals of the whole new modversions implementation: export-objs is gone for good!

Skip over the first part of __vermagic in modversioning is on: otherwise you'll have to force it when changing from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1.

Fix the case where no CRCs are supplied (OK, but taints kernel), and only print one tainted message (otherwise --force gives hundreds of them).

We generated the intermediate files that contain checksums for unresolved symbols in .tmp_versions, which had the disadvantage that is obscured what's going on during the build. Just generate them as .ver.[co] right next to the actual objects in the object tree.

CONFIG_MODVERSIONING was a temporary name introduced to distinguish between the old and new module version implementation. Since the traces of the old implementation are now gone from the build system, we rename the config option back in order to not confuse users more than necessary in 2.6. Also, remove some historic modversions cruft throughout the tree.

After disabling files that wouldn't build, there were 2 (in-kernel) modules that referenced _init or _exit code sections when they shouldn't. This fixes those modules.

Certain support files are shared between various ARM machine classes. In other to sanely support these, we place the shared files in arch/arm/common instead of the individual machine class directories.

Patch from Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> show_task() attempts to calculate the amount of free space which hasn't been written to on the kernel stack by reading from the base of the kernel stack upwards. However, it mistakenly uses the task_struct pointer as the base of the stack, which it isn't, and this can cause an oops. Here is a patch which uses the task thread pointer instead, which should be located at the bottom of the kernel stack. It appears this was missed when the thread structure was introduced.

The recent exit_mmap() changes broke PPC64 when 64-bit applications exec 32-bit ones. ia32-on-ia64 was broken as well What is happening is that load_elf_binary() sets TIF_32BIT (via SET_PERSONALITY) _before_ running exit_mmap(). So when we're unmapping the vma's of the old image, we are running under the new image's personality. This causes PPC64 to pass a 32-bit TASK_SIZE to unmap_vmas(), even when the execing process had a 64-bit image. Because unmap_vmas() is not provided with the correct virtual address span it does not unmap all the old image's vma's and we go BUG_ON(mm->map_count) in exit_mmap(). The early SET_PERSONALITY() is required before we look up the interpreter because the lookup of the executable has to happen under the alternate root which SET_PERSONALITY() may set. Unfortunately this means that we're running flush_old_exec() under the new exec's personality. Hence this bug. So what the patch does is to simply pass ~0UL into unmap_vmas(), which tells it to unmap everything regardless of current personality. Which is what the old open-coded VMA killer was doing. There remains the problem that some architectures are sometimes passing the incorrect TASK_SIZE into tlb_finish_mmu(). They've always been doing that.

We cannot clear VM_MAYWRITE in there - it turns writeable MAP_PRIVATE mappings into readonly ones. So change it back to the 2.4 form - disallow a writeable MAP_SHARED mapping against filesystems which do not implement ->writepage().

Patch from William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> pgd_index() doesn't parenthesize its argument. This is a bad idea for macros, since it's legitimate to pass expressions to them that will get misinterpreted given operator precedence and the shift.

Patch from: jak@rudolph.ccur.com (Joe Korty) The new, preemptable spin_lock() spins on an atomic bus-locking read/write instead of an ordinary read, as the original spin_lock implementation did. Perhaps that is the source of the inefficiency being seen. Attached sample code compiles but is untested and incomplete (present only to illustrate the idea).
